Image Theses and Dissertations Design, Manufacture and Prototyping of a Hydrokinetic Turbine Unit for River Application Hydrokinetic technology has a long history as a viable long term renewable energy. It has outpaced wind energy production in the U.S. due to the largely unpredictable and inconsistent nature of wind while most hydrokinetic technology operates in near constant flow conditions. These conditions are created through the construction of massive dams, causing intense and mostly irreversible damage to the surrounding area. View Item
